Further objects anil advantages wilhappear in the following description7 it being understood that' Various changes in forni'.7 proportions anil minor ilelails of eonslruo# tion may he rgsorted. lorithin lthe scope olf the appended claims. l

For a full understanding of thc ihren@ tion anfl J(he merits hcrdeo'f.7 reference is to he had to the Jfollowing description arnl accompanying dravv'inge7 in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view oi a hair tion; l* ig.

vention, showing the saine in position on the 1nahm-Phe'. Q is a 'front elevation oi the hair pin7 showing the passage of the slranils of hair therethrough; Fig. 3 is a side elevafl is a transverse sectional View 2. and looking in lire. direction ofthe arrow; 5 is a front elevation, illustrating a inoclih'ed form of the invention; ig.

Y: Fig. 9 is a front elevation illustrating ,a still further modification.

CorrespondingA anrl like parts are referred lo in lle following description and indicated in all the. Views of the drawings by the saine reference eharaeters.

The ,improved hair pin forming `the suhjccly matter of he presentinrention comprises ar holly porlion preferably formeel of a single length of wire, guttapereha, celluloid or olher suitable material, bent upon itself at 5 to produce spaceelhair engaging members or legs (l. the legs (S is erimpecl longitudinally to pro- (luce umlulations or eorrugaions 7 ing laterally from the 'front and-rear ol' the hair pin, saifl oorrngations being disposed in slaggarrl .relation with the convex portions ol the eorrugations on one legir arranged in transverse alinenient with the concave taken on the line of Fig;

lt will here be noted ihm, the inner Walls of the legs il' are smooth and unohatruclefh the really as infliatell at l0 so as lo perinily passage oi he pin through 'the hair.,

-ivill also be noieil that the corrugations on one le;r overlap the eorrngralions on the inaiing' leg` .so that. Saul Cmrugalionsg, by engagement with he hair, will lend to erinip ihr- Haine andv hold lhe. sranrls thereof separated lo perrni the circulal'ion orf air through lhe hair.

The walls of the hair pin lctvveen the Li-ripping jaws 3 and closed end 5. are preferably flcvoid 'l corrugralions so as lo pre- 'senl a smooth surface for engagement, with wir imiz' jiii wixvs :smi shui;
